Ohio Police Casualties
in Chicago.
Details of the Dayton Disaster.
COLUMBUS,May 13.—A Iiayton (Ohio)
special says the storm last night resulted
in considerable damage. The rainfall
(Hied both the Miami rivers bankfull.
The city had the water to Main street,
where business blocks occupy all the
ground. The thoroughfare became a
river and flooded all the stores,destroying
goods. Arnold & Son claim a loss of
$10,000. The Wolf creek levee
broke, flooding the west side
and undermining structures and turning
faimilies out of small tenements. The
patrol system carried women and children
out of danger. The Big Miami
raised nine feet between nine
o’clock and midnight, which
indicates great loss to the farmers and
gardeners of the valleys; railway bridges
and culverts are washed out and telegraph
communication shut off from Dayton.
Trains will all be delayed and seyeral
hundred people are detained in the
city. The washout on the Bee lip,e
four miles south of Dayton Nook is over
200 feet of embankment. Like washouts
reported on every road out of Dayton.
All kinds of extravagant rumors arc
afloat. Senator Kemp left for Dayton
on receipt of the news that his
home had been washed away and
family could’ not be found.
Unconfirmed reports from Springfieldannounce
similar destruction by light
ning of a large portion of the town
Trains were derailed but no loss of life..
The foundations of several buildings
were washed out allowing them to turnhie
down. Several houses in the city and
country were burned from being struck
by lightning.
Another Illinois Cyclone.
Odell, May 13.—Yesterday afternoon
a terrible cyclone struck this village,
which demolished one brick block,
wrecked three ware houses, unroofed a
hotel. Masonic hall and other buildings,
also the upper part of the Angell block.
Scarcely a store in town escaped injury.
The loss will amount to $50,000. Houses
and barns were twisted off their toundation
and completely destroyed,and trees a
foot in diameter twisted up. The storm
did not last over five minutes. The fatally
injured are Lottie Zwifle, a tenyearold
girl carried over two hundred feet in
the air and fell on the railroad track,
smashing her skull; G«orge and Charles
Hoke, liverymen; S. S. Cole, hardware
merchant; two children of Charles Miller
are seriously hurt. The children had
taken refuge in a brick building and were
buried in the ruins. The damage in the
surrounding country is comparatively
slight.
The New Greek Ministry.
Athens, Greece, May 13.—Papomichaelopuos,
who was summoned to form
a new ministry, declined because the
king insisted that the ministry should be
only temporary, with the object of enabling
the summoning of the chamber.
The king then summoned Vivais, and a
ministry was formed; the chamber will
probably he convoked within ten days, in
order that the decision touching disarmament
may be ratified. The new ministry
is as follows : Valvis, premier and
minister of justice; General Petnizas,
war; M. Miadales, marine; M. Lourcetis,
foreign affairs; M. Aviernos, finance;
M. Venizelos, education; M.
Papoiloupalos, interior. The trade of
the country for the present is paralyzed;
the blockade of the ports continues, and
a temporary government has been formed
until Greece defers to the wishes of
the powers.
The Irish Question.
London, May 13.—It is stated that
loyalists in Ulster are concealing arms,
fearing that Morley, chief secretary of
Ireland, will order the police to make
raids for the purpose of disarming the
people. Leading English liberals have
subscribed £600 in buying arms for the
Orangemen of Armagh. Drill clubs have
been formed by the Armagh loyalists.
Ferdinand James de Rothschild,liberal
member of Parliament for the Aylesbury
division ot Buckinghamshire, has written
a public letter opposing Gladstone’s
homerule bill, asking conservatives and
liberalists alike to petition against adoption
of the measure.
Lord Harrington is ready to form a
ministry of moderates. Lord Salisbury
has promised his support, although no
conservatives will join Lord Harrington’s
cabinet.
The Xenia Calamity.
Cincinnati, May 13.—Only the
merest outlines of the great disaster at
Xenia arc yet obtainable. From these it
appears the rainfall last night was the
worst ever known in that part of the state.
It was like a cloud burst, beginning at S
o’clock and continuing until after 10
o’clock. Shawnee run, which runs
through a portion ot the town, with cottages
built on its banks, rose to an unpfecedentedheight
and swept away 50 to 100
buildings and the inmates
suddenly found themselves helpless
upon the angry flood. How many lives
were lost is not known, but at noon today
the rescuing party had recovered 24
bodies. It was estimated that a number
would yet be found. The storm is dcscribed
as being the most disastrous
ever known. On the Little Miami railroad
the nearest approach any train could
make to the city was three miles. The
bridges were all washed away and in
places the track also taken. Trees were
blown, down fences destroyed and crops
ruined.
Xenia, Ohio, Isolated by a Flood.
Cincinnati, May 13.—The city of Xenia.
Green county, this state, is reported
inaccessible by railroads from any direction
because of washouts by a storm
last night, Archer creek, which flows
from the east through a culvert under the
railroad near the depor, dammed theculvert
with drift and formed a great reservoir
which broke the railway embankmeut.
and swept through the town carry’
ing houses away, causing loss oflife,besides
sweeping away six hundred feet of
railway track.
The Loss of Life at'Xenia and Dayton.
Cincinnati, May 13.11:45 a. m.—
There is still no telegraphic communication
with Xenia'or Dayton, but from
railroad officials it is learned that twenty
persons are reported killed and a large
number injured. Fearful winds blew
down trees and telegraph poles until there
were no communications with Cincinnati
whatever.
A lough Georgia Story.
Athens, Ga., May 7.—One year ago
George Whitehead killed his landlord, in
Oconee county. Many of the shot from
his gun went through the leaves of an
oak tree, in the front of which Hardeman
stood when the shot was fired. This
year the new leaves budding out of that
tree are full of holes similar to those
made by the shot last year.
A Cuban Loan.
Madrid, May 13.—A Spanish loan of
124,000,000 pesos, has just been authorized
for account of Cuba, to be employed
to consolidate the floating debt of that
country. Cuban revenues are to be hypothecated
to secure repayment of the
loan, which will also be secured by’ imperial
guarantee.

Washington, May 12.—'The interstate
commerce bill, as amended and passed
by the senate today, provides for a commission
of five persons, to be appointed
by the president, by and with the consent
of the senate, to carry’ out the pur*
pose of the bill. Eeach commissioner is
to have a salary of $7,500 a year. A secretary
to be appointed by the commission,
is to.have a salary of $3,500 a year.
The bill requires that all charges for any
service in transporting passengers or
freights or storing goods by common
carriers shall be reasonable. It prohibits
all rebates and drawbacks and all unjust
discrimination, requiring that all persons
shall be charged and treated alike for
services rendered under substantially
similar circumstances and conditions.
The long and short haul clause, being
a section of the bill reads as follows:
That it shall be unlawful for any common
carrier to charge or receive any
greater compensation in the aggregate
for the transportation of passengers, or
freight of the like class and quantity of
property subject to the provisions of this
act for a shorter than for a longer distance
over the same line in the same
direction, and from the same original
point of departure, or to the same point
of arrival.
New York, Mayi3.—Details of the arrest
of Herr Most say that when the police
pulled him from underjthe bed'where
he had hid himself, his head and jaws
were covered with dust and dirt and his
eyes were largewith craven fear. He recovered,
however, sufficiently to wave
his arm aloft and shout a demand for
liberty for the people. He was * handcuffed
and taken to police headquarters,
where he was locked up—a picture of dejecction.
In the house where Most was
arrested were found a Winchester repeating
rifle’ with bayonet, and books upon
dynamite, bombs and kindred to pics.
Herr Most passed thCgreater part of last
night in a cell at police headquarters,
bitterly denouncing the police for his arrest.
He called for brandy
repeatedly but it was not given him.
This morning he stormed because he had
to wipe his face after washing, on a common
towel, and to eat prison fare. He
was today taken to a photograph gallery
and his picture secured. Copies of
it will be sent to the police of all large
cities, as is done with all bad criminals,
Later in the morning Most was taken into
court and arraigned to plead to an indictment
found against him by the grand
jury.
Prescott, Ks., May 12.—Frank Lyles
shot and killed his sweetheart, Minnie
Grimes, because she refused to marry
him. He was walkinghome from school
with her and near her home he pressed
the oftrepeated question upon the young
lady who positively refused to answer in
the affirmative, whereupon the young
man became enraged, drew a revolver
and shot the girl in the side. She started
to run for the house but a second shot
brought her to the ground. She recovered
herself again and started to run, but
again fell. Lyles having kept up a continuous
fusilade and emptied his revolver,
deliberately reloaded it and emptied
seven more shots into the form of the already
dead girl after which he cut her
throat and beat her brains out with a
club. He was captured and turned over
to the officers, but a mob afterwards took
him from them and hanged him to a
tree.
Muskogee, 1. T., May 12.—A special
train, consisting of eight cars loaded with
oranges, passed through this place going
north this morning. Just as the
engine was crossing a small bridge the
other side of theVerdigris,Henry Deyuey,
head brakeman, leaned out of the cab to
look back. A crosspiece nailed to one
of the timbers, forming a ladder, struck
him in the temple, breaking his skull and
knocking him back into the tender. His
injuries are thought to be fatal.
Indianapolis, May 13.—Francis T.
Hord, attorneygeneral of the state, has
been declared insane and has been taken
to the asylum. His mania is ungronnded
jealousy of his wife, an estimable lady of
34 years ot age, and he has assaulted
and threatened to kill a reputable citizen,
the object of his jealousy.
New York, May 12.—A policeman
found a package of powder connected by
wires and percurssion caps on the track of
the Third Avenue Railroad today. There
is no clue to the person who placed it
there.
Texarkana, May 12.—The excitement
over the attack made on Evangelist
Wolfe by Marshal Edwards has been intense,
and this evening a monster mass
meeting was held at the courthouse, attended
by the county officers, the mayor,
the city council and at least a thousand
citizens of all races and creeds, when denunciatory
speeches were made and resolutions
passed. It remains to be seen
what action the city government will
take in the matter. Mr. Wolfe is an.
avangelist in the Presbyterian faith, and
his home is in Pennsylvania. He has
been conducting a revival here for some
time.
Fort Worth, May 12.—A meeting of
knights of labor and delegates from the
farmers’ alliance was held last night,
lasting until long after midnight. A full
county ticket was put in nomination, for
which the entire vote of the two organizations
will be cast. The meeting was
held with closed doors. Besides county
officers, Sam Evans, a greenbacker, was
nominated for congress from the sixth
congressional district to succeed Olin
Wellborn; and E. Newton, a farmer, was
nominatedfor the state legislature.
Paris, May 12.—According to appointment
Gen. L. S. Ross, candidate for
the gubernatorial nomination, spoke here
today at the court house to a large and
enthusiastic audience, and his speech
was well received by all. At the close of
his speech he raked Col. Swain foreandaft
on his prohibition flop, telling many
amusing anecdotes which he applied
with great and telling force to his distinguished
opponent and which never
failed to bring down the house in a perfeet
storm of applause.
Washington, May 12—The Cullom
interstate commerce bill passed the senate
today by a vote of 42 to 4. Brown
and Colquitt of Georgia, Morgan of Alabama
and Ransom of North Carolina
voted in the negative.
St. Louis, May 12.—The deputy sheriffs
who fired on the strikers in East St.
Louis, were safely transferred to the Illinois
side today. where they will be held
for trial.
The TurkoGrecian Imbroglio.
New York, May 13.—The Star's London
correspondent telegraphs: “The
great danger of the TurkoGreek situation
is that the Turks may give the
Greeks a bad whipping. National feeling
throughout Europe would be excited
by such a struggle almost beyond restraint,
especially in Holy Russia. Greece and
Russia are closely allied in religion, politics
and ultimate designs against l'urkey.
It would take very little fighting 11
rouse all Russia to action, and render the
intervention of the czar's government iuevitable.
Russian intervention would be
more likely than not to mark the cammencement
of complications throughout
Europe. Austria could not very well
remain a passive witness of
a rearrangement of Turkish
frontiers. Her military and political
interests in Bosnia and Herzego’vinia
forbid. The blame for having brought
Europe to the present dead lock is laid
by England on Russia, and by Germany
on France. The combination is significant
and full of danger. The sooner the
affair is over, one way or the other, if
there is to be a war, the better it will be
for all the world. The first interest of
the powers is to localize the fighting, if
they can; but once blood is shed, there
is no saying where the national passions
may lead the powers whose jealousies,
like slumbering embers, might so easily
be kindled into flames. The East is
like a vast gunpowder magazine: Greece
is the chance spark that may light the
blaze.
GEN. W. H. PARSONS.
He is A’ive yet and a Resident of Baltimore
In the article anent Albert R. Parsons’
career in Waco, published in The Day
last week, it was stated that Wm. H.
Parsons, Albert’s brother, and the ex
Brigadier of the Confederate service, was
last heard of him New York, but whether
alive or dead now was not known. Since
that publication was made it is learned
that Gen. Parsons is now a resident of
Baltimore. Judge L. C. Alexander, of
this city, who is the Texas vicepresident
of the National Bimctalic Association,
says that not long ago, among other printed
matter sent to him from the headquarters
of the Association, was a pamphlet
on bimetalism, by Gen. Parsons.
It h hardly possible Albert Parsons lias
sought refuge with his brother. It is believed
that Albert’s course during the
last few years has caused the brothers to
drift apart, and it is notjikely that Albert’s
anarchist views find favor with Gen.
Parsons, who is too conservative a man to
tolerate such sentiments. Gen. W. H.
Parsons removed from New York to Baltimore,
but in what year The Day cannot
ascertain.

to run for the house but a second shot
brought her to the ground. She recovered
herself again and started to run, but
again fell. Lyles having kept up a continuous
fusilade and emptied his revolver,

The TurkoGrecian Imbroglio.
New York, May 13.—The Star's London
correspondent telegraphs: “The
great danger of the TurkoGreek situation
is that the Turks may give the
Greeks a bad whipping. National feeling
throughout Europe would be excited
by such a struggle almost beyond restraint,
especially in Holy Russia. Greece and
Russia are closely allied in religion, politics
and ultimate designs against l'urkey.
It would take very little fighting 11
rouse all Russia to action, and render the
intervention of the czar's government iuevitable.
Russian intervention would be
more likely than not to mark the cammencement
of complications throughout
Europe. Austria could not very well
remain a passive witness of
a rearrangement of Turkish
frontiers. Her military and political
interests in Bosnia and Herzego’vinia
forbid. The blame for having brought
Europe to the present dead lock is laid
by England on Russia, and by Germany
on France. The combination is significant
and full of danger. The sooner the
affair is over, one way or the other, if
there is to be a war, the better it will be
for all the world. The first interest of
the powers is to localize the fighting, if
they can; but once blood is shed, there
is no saying where the national passions
may lead the powers whose jealousies,
like slumbering embers, might so easily
be kindled into flames. The East is
like a vast gunpowder magazine: Greece
is the chance spark that may light the
blaze.
GEN. W. H. PARSONS.
He is A’ive yet and a Resident of Baltimore
In the article anent Albert R. Parsons’
career in Waco, published in The Day
last week, it was stated that Wm. H.
Parsons, Albert’s brother, and the ex
Brigadier of the Confederate service, was
last heard of him New York, but whether
alive or dead now was not known. Since
that publication was made it is learned
that Gen. Parsons is now a resident of
Baltimore. Judge L. C. Alexander, of
this city, who is the Texas vicepresident
of the National Bimctalic Association,
says that not long ago, among other printed
matter sent to him from the headquarters
of the Association, was a pamphlet
on bimetalism, by Gen. Parsons.
It h hardly possible Albert Parsons lias
sought refuge with his brother. It is believed
that Albert’s course during the
last few years has caused the brothers to
drift apart, and it is notjikely that Albert’s
anarchist views find favor with Gen.
Parsons, who is too conservative a man to
tolerate such sentiments. Gen. W. H.
Parsons removed from New York to Baltimore,
but in what year The Day cannot
ascertain.
